Get to Know
Your Phone
Welcome to Verizon Wireless. You’re now part
of a growing movement that’s about speed,
signal and strength. This guide will show you
how to set up and use your phone, access
special features, and find help.
Step 1. Remove the Back Cover
With the phone facing down, insert your
fingernail into the slot located on the lower
left of the back cover and lift the cover up
gently.
Optional: Replace the SIM Card
The SIM card is pre-installed in your phone. If
you need to replace your SIM card, gently slide
the old SIM card out of the lower slot. Then
slide the new SIM card into the lower slot with
the Verizon logo facing up and the cut corner
pointed in.
Optional: Insert the microSD Card
If you have a microSD card, slide it into the
microSD card slot (the upper of the two
slots) with the gold contacts facing down.
NOTE: The microSD card is sold separately.
Step 2. Insert the Battery
Insert the battery, making sure to align the
gold contacts. Press down gently to secure
the battery.
Step 3. Replace the Back Cover
Place the back cover over the back of the
phone, and then press down along the edges
to secure the cover.

Adapter and a USB cable that connect
together to charge your phone. Before turning
